Further information on your plant
All plants are measured from the bottom of the nursery pot to the tip of the plant and if a height is specified, this is an approximate height, not set in stone. As all plants are living things, they will vary in size throughout the year, and we do our best to give a guide as to the size you can expect. If in doubt drop us an email hello@leafculture.co.uk. And lastly, minor flaws in leaves might be present and will not be covered for compensation. It's worth noting that plants naturally age like people and are rarely perfect.
Monstera obliqua 'Peru' is a fascinating houseplant that stands out due to its extremely delicate and perforated leaves which have large, oval holes, giving them a lacy appearance that is quite striking. This plant is native to Central and South America and is a part of the Araceae family. Monstera obliqua 'Peru' is a slow grower and can be a bit more challenging to find, making it a prized addition for plant enthusiasts and collectors and here at Leaf Culture, we're pretty pleased to have found it.
Caring for Monstera obliqua 'Peru' requires attention to its specific needs. It thrives in bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves. The soil should be kept consistently moist but well-draining to prevent root rot. Higher humidity is crucial for this tropical plant, so regular misting or using a humidifier can be beneficial. It prefers temperatures between 18-27°C and fertilise during the growing season will support its growth.
Monstera obliqua 'Peru' is not just beautiful but also safe for homes with pets, as it is non-toxic to cats and dogs. Besides its aesthetic appeal, regular care like wiping the leaves to remove dust will keep the plant healthy and vibrant but be careful doing this as the leaves are thin. With the right environment and attention, Monstera obliqua 'Peru' can thrive and become a stunning centrepiece in your home.
Note: Most of these plants arrive with 3-4 leaves from the growers.
